Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 92 Tang Hao Escapes

The battle outside Tiandou City started strong but ended weakly. Tang Hao even had to activate his explosive ring to barely escape the scene, but he still had to face pursuit from everyone.

Bibi Dong's people, in particular, relentlessly pursued the enemy. After unleashing various soul skills, many onlookers were caught in the crossfire, and even a number of high-level soul masters who were trying to take advantage of the chaos perished.

Although Yu Xiaogang and the others could temporarily achieve the combat power of a Title Douluo by using their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they were ultimately only Soul Saints at best. So they had no choice but to lead everyone to protect Tang San and return to Blue Tyrant Academy.

After chasing for half a day, Bibi Dong and the others still came up empty-handed and had no choice but to return to the Spirit Hall branch in Tian Dou City.

Yu Yuanzhen, Ning Fengzhi, and Sword Douluo's attitudes were very ambiguous. They had all initially looked down on Tang Hao and even launched continuous attacks against him in the early stages.

However, after Tang Hao destroyed the ring, his attitude clearly changed again. No matter what, Tang Hao was, after all, a disciple of the Haotian Sect. Although he had been expelled from the sect, the current sect master of the Haotian Sect, Tang Xiao, was his elder brother, and it was impossible for him to sever ties completely.

In particular, neither the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan nor the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could bring themselves to kill Tang Hao. In fact, in order to maintain the unity of the three upper sects, they had to change their stance and protect Tang Hao as much as possible. Moreover, they could not allow Bibi Dong to obtain a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

Four hundred kilometers west of Tiandou City, in a dense forest, Tang Hao stood panting heavily. He had been on the run for half a day and had barely managed to evade the pursuit of the Spirit Hall.

But at that moment, a flash of soul power appeared around them, and three figures appeared. These three were Yu Yuanzhen, Ning Fengzhi, and Sword Douluo. Clearly, they were pursuing a more specific target and were more persistent.

Tang Hao looked at the crowd with a touch of domineering arrogance: "Sect Master Yu, Sect Master Ning, what exactly do you want from me, Tang Hao, that you're so eager to pursue me?"

Yu Yuanzhen remained domineering: "Tang Hao, you're considered a veteran in the Soul Master world. You should know better than anyone what I don't want to do. If it weren't for us, how could you have escaped the pursuit of the Spirit Hall? And now you're turning around and blaming me."

Tang Hao coldly said, "I know your little schemes better than you do. You just want the 100,000-year-old soul beast in my possession, but you don't want to really hurt me or break the alliance between the three upper sects. Have you forgotten the strength of my Clear Sky Sect?"

"As long as my elder brother remains the sect leader of the Haotian Sect, even if you were given the courage, you wouldn't dare to truly harm me, much less truly oppose the Haotian Sect."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen and the other two turned somewhat pale. Back when Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Sect was in power, he was a force to be reckoned with throughout the entire Soul Master world, and even the Spirit Hall dared not provoke him easily.

Although the Clear Sky Sect has now gone into seclusion, the strength of Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, as well as the fighting power of the Clear Sky Sect members, especially the fact that the Clear Sky Sect has a titled Douluo-level elder, makes them even more overwhelming than the other two sects in terms of pure combat power. Not to mention that the Clear Sky Sect also has Tang Chen, who has been missing for countless years. As long as no one can confirm Tang Chen's death, no one will dare to really make a ruthless move against the Clear Sky Sect.

Another point is that the Haotian Sect members are a group of brutes with outstanding combat power. They are not the kind of people who will not fight back. On the contrary, they are extremely protective of their own and fight with all their might. No one wants to provoke this group of madmen.

Ning Fengzhi quickly tried to smooth things over: "Brother Tang, Sect Master Yu, you've gone a bit too far. No matter what, we should consider the bigger picture, otherwise we'll just be letting the Spirit Hall benefit."

Tang Hao scoffed coldly, "The Spirit Hall is nothing but a bunch of rats, but you're no better. How many times have you stabbed someone in the back for a little gain?"

Ning Fengzhi chuckled and said, "Brother Tang, you've misunderstood. No one can resist the temptation of a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Besides, it's not worth ruining our alliance for a single soul beast."

"Besides, you should be well aware of what happened back then. If our two families hadn't sent large armies to Haotian Sect, their actions probably wouldn't have ended so easily."

As Ning Fengzhi said, the war between Haotian Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan broke out extremely suddenly. Both the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan sent large armies to support them, and even the Heaven Dou Empire dispatched a large army.

Although the Spirit Hall had the strength to defeat the Clear Sky Sect back then, it wouldn't have been so easy to win if it faced four major forces at the same time. As for letting the Clear Sky Sect members retreat to their ancestral land and live in seclusion, it was a way to save face. Otherwise, it would have been a lose-lose situation.

The Haotian Sect also took the opportunity to retreat into seclusion, thus preserving some of its strength. The four families with only one attribute were thus abandoned. However, in the world of Soul Masters, the strong prey on the weak, and no one will sympathize with the four families with only one attribute.

But Tang Hao remained unmoved: "I, Tang, have always been clear about my debts and grievances. Whether it is a debt owed to the Clear Sky Sect or to other people, I will naturally find a way to repay it. But you absolutely cannot make a move on this 100,000-year-old soul beast."

"This 100,000-year-old soul beast grew up with my son, and the two have a deep bond. They will become husband and wife in the future, and I cannot simply hand over my daughter-in-law."

Yu Yuanzhen and the other two thought to themselves: This Tang Hao is too shameless. He married a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast, and the 100,000-year-old soul beast sacrificed itself for him, creating his invincible 100,000-year-old ninth soul ring. Now he actually wants to do the same thing to his son.

Ning Fengzhi shook his head: "Brother Tang, you are mistaken. There is still a difference between our human race and the soul beast race. If the Spirit Hall insists on this righteous cause, then whether it is you or Tang San, it will probably bring disaster, and it may even affect the Clear Sky Sect before that."

Tang Hao sneered again: "This is my family matter, so there's no need for Sect Leader Ning to worry about it. You should all take care of yourselves first."

Ning Fengzhi spoke again: "Brother Tang, why do you have to do this? Tang San and I have some friendship, and we even have a lot of business dealings. I am quite optimistic about Tang San's talent, and I have tried my best to protect him within my limited capabilities. Otherwise, he would not have been able to participate in the Soul Master Competition peacefully."

Tang Hao couldn't care less about that anymore: "Sect Leader Ning, don't put it so nicely. The business you did with my son was ultimately a matter of mutual consent, and it was also something that your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School needed."

"As for your protection of my son, although I am grateful, one thing is one thing. Aren't you also trying to make my son the scapegoat?"

"You know better than I do what the Spirit Hall is doing right now. My Clear Sky Sect has long since gone into seclusion. If we continue to let the Spirit Hall develop like this, they will probably make a move against you sooner or later. You don't have a backer like my grandfather, nor do you have the qualifications to live in seclusion."
